The Monarch of the Glen

By: Neil Gaiman

Narrated by: Neil Gaiman

He was not sure what he had been looking for. He only knew that he had not found it.

Shadow Moon has been away from America for nearly two years. His nights are broken with dangerous dreams. Sometimes he almost believes he doesn't care if he ever returns home.

In the Highlands of Scotland, where the sky is pale white and it feels as remote as any place can possibly be, the beautiful and the wealthy gather at a grand old house in the glen. And when the strange local doctor offers him work at the party, Shadow is intrigued. He knows there is no good reason for him to be there. So what do they want with him?

great and easy listen

great book, for those suffering from Gaiman withdrawal after finishing American Gods, this is an excellent cure. it feels a bit weird to spend the same amount of credits on a book only a fraction of the size of American Gods. But in the end, I enjoyed this book immensely so it doesn't really matter. Neil is actually an excellent narrator (as was also proven by his "coming to America" exerpts from American Gods) When it comes to his Wednesday, he is no Ron Mclarty or Ian Mcshane, but all his other characters are excellent and full of life.
